The University of Bradford’s Working Academy at the School of Computing, Informatics and Media has agreed a deal to film all of Bradford City FC’s home games.
Simon Couth, Working Academy director, said: “A key factor in the employability of our students is providing them with the experience of a real production environment in which to hone their skills. Filming or photographing live matches at the football club is a brilliant opportunity to do this.”
He continued: “Working on commissions like this is the best way of building a professional portfolio. It’s an amazing opportunity for students, especially those who want to work in sport journalism, to get the experience of being on the gantry alongside professionals from Sky and the BBC.
“Bradford City also benefit as the university has a fantastic range of media sources, including a fully-equipped outside broadcast truck and technicians to support the filming of matches."
